Floral Stitches by Judith Baker Montano (2001, Hardcover, Spiral)

Judith Baker Montano's hardcover book Floral Stitches is 176 pages of beautiful stitchery and great ideas! Spiral-bound with thick pages, this book is made to last.

Included are page after page of stitch directions, with numbered and illustrated steps, along with a photo of the stitch as it looks in thread or ribbon. With this book as a guide, you can progress from learning basic embroidery stitches and alphabets to complex knots, flowers, and leaves. Among my favorites are the Twisted Ribbon Stitch, which makes a gorgeous zinnia; and the Victorian Velvet Pansies.

Also included is the Montano Color Chart and Color Wheel, framing ideas, types of fabric and the threads and needles to use with each, and Crazy Quilting techniques and stitches.

This book is excellent for anyone interested in Floral Stitchery, free-form embroidery, Crazy Quilting, or just learning various embroidery stitches.
